I hope that there aren’t as many weapons in BF1 as there are in BF4.
I think limiting the number of weapons in BF1 would further increase the amount of differentiation among the weapons.
In BF4, I thought some weapons were almost reskins of other weapons (with slight changes in recoil, sound, etc.).
I hope this can be avoided in BF1 by limiting the number of weapons.
I agree fully.
Variety is the spice of life. Why is it so bad that there were lots of weapons in bf4?
I like lots of weapons,even if they are the same like MG4 and M249
Because even if the stats are the same,switching from one to a similar one still feels different because of the sound,animations,model etc
Granted,the more they can differentiate between them the better
I hope there’s more.
BC2 had enough 
Exactly, and limited weapons were another reason why people left Hardline.
In modern day games when the easiest way to keep people interested is with unlockables I don’t see them limiting the amount of weapons. I believe they already said it will have more than BF4.
Its ww1 there’s not gonna be that many
You would think
I completely agree KaaDaver. But at the same time, WW1 didn’t have a plethora of weapons to choose from. I’ll be alright either way. As long as the lack of weapons is made up for by lots of variety with the classes and gadgets
because there’s too many weapons to balance properly and actually create interesting variety. having tons of the same thing isnt variety.
It would be nice if most people run around with bolt actions. While BARs and MP18s did exist, it doesn’t make sense for them to be available to everyone.
I’m sure that DICE can introduce a ton of interesting guns because they didn’t all have standardised ammo yet like they have with most modern guns now (.556 .762 .45 9mm).
That gives DICE more room to play around with damage levels of the individual guns and thus have another way to balance them and make them feel more uniqie.
I really like it if there are a lot of guns to master even if some are simular, I do hope they find a way to make the bolt actions stand out a bit more though.
they could have done that in BF3 and 4 regardless. the ammo was always irrelevant in BF games until BF3 ruined it. they claim it was for realsim purposes but im convinced it was just lazy balancing.
But that isn’t a problem with variety, thats a problem with the lazy balancing, just like you said. If they put extra effort into it I see no reason why it couldn’t work
they’re not going to. besides, you can still over saturate it no matter how hard you try. the damage and accuracy values can only do so much.

Well there were not a lot of weapons those days 
and limiting weapons as it was in BC2 would be a very smart idea. BF4 was dead since the start of the game due to many weapons and explosives … Think about it
Speak for yourself. Yes the explosives were annoying, but I don’t know one person that complained that there were to many weapons in BF4. The only thing wrong with BF4 was the rocky start with the game crashes and server lag. Other than that BF4 was/is 9.5/10
